I’m often in Berlin for work and family. Years ago, I happened upon Garcia Kaffeebar. As I walked in, they had just set out a fresh batch of cinnamon rolls that looked and smelled exactly like the ones I grew up with in New York. Of course, I ordered one (maybe two :-) right away. The cinnamon rolls were perfect, the accompanying coffee top-notch, a real delight.
Since then, no trip to Berlin feels complete without a stop at Garcia, and they never disappoint!
Consistently excellent coffee, friendly service, and high-quality baked goods and sandwiches. Currently, along with those wonderful cinnamon rolls, I’m hooked on the delectable little lemon tarts topped with perfect meringue. Recently, I learned that they operate their own bakery, which helps explain why their cakes, tarts, and treats all feel a notch above. I can’t wait to stop by the next time I’m in town.
